Li Cunxin (Tang dynasty)

Li Cunxin (李存信) (862–902), originally Zhang Wuluo (張污落),[1] was a military general in imperial China's Tang dynasty, serving the Shatuo military leader Li Keyong, who adopted him as a son.

[2] The family moved southward in the late 840s or early 850s, settling in Heluochuan (合羅川; probably around the Juyan Lake Basin in modern Inner Mongolia).

Later Li Cunxin attacked Luo again and defeated Zhu Wen's general Ge Congzhou.

[6] In 897, Li Cunxin suffered a large defeat at the hands of Liu Rengong.

[2] Due to the role he played in Li Cunxiao's death, Li Cunxin was particularly vilified in the Yuan dynasty play "A Grieving Lady Deng Painfully Laments Cunxiao" (鄧夫人苦痛哭存孝) by Guan Hanqing, which was translated as "Death of the Winged-Tiger General" by Yang Hsien-yi and Gladys Yang in 1958.
